[00:23.030] Life is tough, but in the past life was rougher[00:25.179] If you ask me in 10 years from now people suffer.[00:27.896] But from our current perspective, they would have it pretty good.[00:30.931] Like the people from the suburbs never troubled from the hood.[00:33.640] But the people in the suburbs got their own set of troubles.[00:36.292] Plus the wealthy and celebrities can definitely struggle[00:39.291] So does poorer make you more inclined to draw a greater sympathy[00:42.256] Or being a minority deserves the others empathy[00:44.975] Cause mentally we’re all ready to choose a certain side[00:47.715] Cause suffering’s a game we all play until we die[00:50.780] And the more points we can make is how much worse we claim to have it.[00:53.571] And that drowning in our sorrows is a standard form of habit[00:56.316] Give it up now.[00:57.435] We get it man you have it tough now.[00:59.197] But everybody has a struggle, everywhere’s a tough town.[01:02.112] And it’s a sliding scale from inconvenient to severe[01:04.781] And some places are more dangerous, where people live in fear.[01:07.516] Where there’s power, there’s corruption. Where there’s money, there is greed.[01:10.342] Where there’s lies, there lies prejudice and where the hatred breeds[01:13.201] And if you take it to the streets, you’ll notice violence succeeds[01:15.973] In only bringing more violence and ringing in deceased.[01:18.809] It’s disease and it’s seething through the people who got a short fuse.[01:22.136] And when you win the war on drugs you know that more lose.[01:25.005] And when you loan to college students you enslave them.[01:27.570] And they wonder why frustration plagues their brain - It’s cause we made them.[01:30.501] And that’s a statement when your presidential hopeful.[01:33.085] Only preys on fear and floats in loads of hatred by the boatful [01:36.417] Ain’t no wall tall enough to block the ignorance and lazy[01:38.696] Of the people that are already here. I’m convinced they’re crazy.[01:41.520] So what you’re saying is “Flowny, this world is prone to go[01:44.478] If we don’t kill each other this Earth is ready to overflow”[01:47.171] “Intolerance and greed are competing for us to overthrow[01:50.147] This fantasy of ‘Reason & Peace’ that we had grown to know.” ?[01:53.353] No.[01:54.117] I’m tryna say open your eyes up.[01:55.889] Accept that we done screwed up and it’s time for us to rise up.[01:58.464] And wisen up, stop teaching kids to hug their feelings,[02:01.184] Cause not everyone’s a winner, and that sometimes there’s a ceiling.[02:04.021] But that ceiling can be broken by innovation and hard work.[02:07.610] And sometimes that ceiling is just some odd jerk.[02:10.226] Working under bullies and idiots that’s a part of life.[02:12.753] But learning how to fight through those challenges makes you smart in life.[02:15.906] Yeah[02:16.668] Don’t preach entitled, teach them finance.[02:18.238] We’re weakest when we’re idle, and our actions are what define us.[02:21.034] And there’s truth within the Sciences,[02:22.664] Not just on faith, but the mountains of research and studies that others paved[02:26.790] But don’t deny your spirit, the unknown outweighs the known.[02:29.398] And when we’re left with only thoughts our mind can find we’re not alone.[02:32.212] And most importantly, think for yourself. I can’t be clearer.[02:35.052] Using lyrics from my rap as a guide for life is drear.[02:38.084] I ain’t qualified to give you advice. I ain’t a doctor.[02:40.707] I’m just sittin here spittin out verses for ya’ll to rock to.[02:43.665] Maybe some of what i’m sayin resonates within you[02:46.425] Or maybe there’s a quote I wrote, you hate and just offends you[02:49.579] That’s the only thing I need from you all, just to continue[02:51.933] To keep on penning these last tracks that we’ve all been through.[02:54.840] If I can take you there, or my words evoke emotion[02:57.579] Or my subject matter causes dispute, that’s all I’m hoping.[03:00.496] And ain’t much left to say, my breath is running thin.[03:03.274] But if you made it through the most of this track, you made me grin.[03:06.250] Maybe you’re a writer or artist or someone who creates[03:08.865] What you bring into this world has a value beyond debate[03:11.787] And I’ll say it again, this life is tough, but so are you.[03:14.591] It’s complex and involved and you’ll fall more than you flew.[03:17.342] But this life is yours to make it as great as you can, or not at all.[03:20.495] Cause you’re the artist, and your life is the canvas upon the wall.
